Denied a run at Huntingdon yesterday, Southwell winner Wargrave bids for compensation here but carries a penalty and SMURPHY ENKI makes more appeal. Probably unlucky in defeat against Seelotmorebusiness at Chepstow four weeks ago, he faces lesser opposition today. On My Command was another who just came up short last time and the Ludlow second should make the frame again on only her second start over timber while Quiana is another with scope.
